What Must I Do To Be Saved? Acts 16:25–34 25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed. 27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thysel ..read more

Now Is Christ Risen 1 Corinthians 15:12–26 12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: 14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. 15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. 16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is v ..read more

He Gave Gifts Unto Men Ephesians 4:11–16 We gave consideration last week in the introduction to personal ministry, learning and knowing that there must be in us a state of the heart that completely trusts in the Lord to attend unto the work of God in our lives. A recognition that he is the one who supplies all our needs. That we are in want for nothing when we are willing to trust him for everything. And there is no inconsistency in our work, in our employments to make provision in this regard, for the Bible calls us to attend to all that we do as Unto Christ”, but there is certainly an u ..read more

Charity Never Faileth 1 Corinthians 13:1–13 4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.  8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall van ..read more

Love Founded on Forgiveness  (How much do you love Jesus?) (Reading Luke 7:36-50) “And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat. And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment. Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw ..read more

Crowned To Love Our Enemies Matthew 5:43–48 43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your bre ..read more

Relationship Through The Cross Introduction 1 Corinthians 1:17–31 17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after ..read more

  The Cheerful Giver What a wonderful joy and privilege it is to preach the WORD of the Lord Jesus Christ! What a blessing it is to see his word come alive in our lives.  This morning will certainly be more encouraging than challenging, the passage before us is not one that is dealing with unfaithfulness but faithfulness.  Last week the Lord was addressing the unfaithful in the congregation of God, and the tone of the sermon was to purposefully reflect the tone of the passage in the book of Haggai respecting giving to the Lord. We see an incredible consistenc ..read more
